Anahit Avanesyan Distorts Facts: Will Pashinyan Dismiss Her? - Hraparak

The newspaper "Hraparak" reports that there are anticipatory moods within the Ministry of Health, with some personnel expecting Prime Minister Pashinyan to draw conclusions and dismiss the minister after his visit to the ministry to hear the 2023 activity report.

Recently, Pashinyan visited the ministry to listen to the report on activities for 2023. In the lead-up to this visit, there had been intense renovation work in the ministry for more than a month, with everyone working under high-pressure conditions to prepare reports, etc.

The staff believes that even a leader as incompetent as Pashinyan should have understood from this visit that Avanesyan is distorting reality. This was evident even during the question-and-answer session. Pashinyan inquired about the changes in the state procurement system. "Previously, we had the practice where the ministry distributed funds at its discretion. Has this practice been eliminated now, meaning are the funds distributed based on the logic of an offer, and do they follow the patient? Is it fully like this now?" Pashinyan asked.

In response, Anahit Avanesyan answered positively and added that funds now follow the patient. Meanwhile, it is well known among ordinary citizens that in the state procurement sector, an offer does not function, and there is a specific limit. Even oncology patients often cannot benefit from state procurements because hospitals inform them that the limit for state procurement has been exhausted.
